My best example of "Planting trees whose shade I will never see" is doing towel laundry and timing the dryer finish to coincide with the end of bath time so that Mel and the kids get hot towels right out of the bath.

As promised...ran 5k this morning for day 3 of #halfmarathon training. It was supposed to be run yesterday but I had to move my rest day up one day for #dadding related reasons.

For #Reddit, #Daddit is actually really wholesome and great. It's the only parenting community I will visit.

But... uh... I'm glad that it's a place that failures are shared too, because this is hilarious

You know what's really fun? When you come back from a very long day and find that the dryer has shit the bed and spend 2 hours trying to diagnose it (it *might* be the thermal cutoff switch), but while testing the suspect part, another somewhat related part broke in your hands and replacing both of them involves dismantling the entire dryer just to be able to get a socket driver to the part. I'm calling this one as not necessarily beyond my skill, but way past my "whirlpool engineers can die in a fire for that decision" and slightly outside of my comfort in the the safety of the resulting fix. The dryer lasted 25 years, has had it's brain replaced twice and it's thermal fuse replaced once. #dad #dadding #appliances #repair #ddiy

Friends, who among us knows how #baby poo on, and between our toes feels?

Me. I know.

Going fast on bikes or scooters with your kid(s) is one of the greatest feelings in the world. One of the times when it's easy to be seamlessly a part of their world, and an awesome, exciting bit of their world at that. #parenting #dadding
